It will definitely cost you a tad bit more, but it is well worth it. Otherwise, if you want to make it one stop and get the best bang for your buck, I would opt for the Battered Snapper. The batter wasn't overwhelming and it is certainly a lot better than most of the fish and chips places I had back in the states. What you definitely should order at John Dory's is their sushi - specifically, the salmon sashimi. At $16.50 for their large, it came with a good helping of salmon sashimi with a layer or slaw and rice underneath. The salmon was super fresh and their rice really tasted like authentic sushi rice. It meshed together really well with the slaw. Tip: BYO by buying a bottle of beer/wine next door to go with your meal - definitely well worth it!

Al & Petes has always been a personal favourite for its takeaway Toasted Sandwiches. In particular the Steak and Cheese toasted is 'to die for!' Now in this day and age eating takeaways is no longer as fashionable as it once was. That said it will be a very long and chilly day in hell before anyone can convince me that eating an Al and Petes toasted sandwich is bad for you. Just look at the posted pic and ask yourself... Do I really want to miss out of this gastronomical delight? Long live 'Al & Petes!'

Had been planning to get to this place for ages with my girlfriend, and we finally got our act together and made our way down for a naughty unhealthy dinner and find a nice spot to enjoy it. I have to say I don't think I've had a better fish 'n' chips experience outside an actual restaurant than we did here. The fish was fresh, and the batter not stodgy and heavy, nice and light, and the healthy dose of chips made for a pant-stretchingly good meal. Definitely glad we decided to try it, and will be back again for sure.

The Takapuna Fish Shop is my go-to fishmonger - there's not many on the shore but I've always found…read morethe fish fresh and the price right. However, after my takeaways tonight, i'm not as sold on their fish and chips. Sure they're cheap and it's conveniently located 5mins walk from a beach but I found their fish to be dry (overcooked?) and the batter stodgy. On the plus side the chips where well salted and crunchy, and the owner is always so lovely - very chippa, with a smile on his dial. Whilst T.F.S will continue to be my fishmonger of choice, with sooo many fish and chips shops to try, I think i'll go elsewhere to indulge in this kiwi classic in the future.

The local Parnellites know all about it though and it packs out on Friday/Saturday night. It's simply of the best fish and chip shops in Auckland - the fish and chips are quite dry and not the greasy shit you get in some takeaways. I always go for the snapper and the fish is good quality as is the batter. I often think the secret of good fish and chips is the batter and they get it bang on in this place. They also sell takeaway shellfish and you can get a little pot of fresh mussels to go with your fish and chips. I think the fish in chips in New Zealand is far better than you get in the UK and this is one of the best places to find it.
